The older I get, the more impressed I am with women. I have yet to meet a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.
I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life - and I became that woman.
Insecurity is a waste of time.
The most important thing is to be healthy, to drink a lot of water, to fight gravity as much as possible. I am one of the few people who decided I wasn't going to do any invasion with my face.
The iPad! What is better designed than that? I read magazines on it, I play Scrabble. I use it for everything.
My biggest vice is playing solitaire on my iPad. It's bad. I mean, it's ridiculous.
Italy will always have the best food.
Do I believe in reincarnation? Well, let's say that I believe in karma. I think you make your own karma.

I gave up on my looks a long time ago.
I am a traveler. I am a nomad. I rarely sleep in the same bed more than three or four nights. And I know hotel life better than anyone.
When I was young, I lived like an old woman, and when I got old, I had to live like a young person.
Simplicity and sexiness, that's what people want. At a price that's not outrageous.

I get ideas about what's essential when packing my suitcase.
If you like trekking, go to the Himalayas or Peru. I love those kinds of trips. But it all depends on your own life and what you like and what you expect.
I loved the seventies.
I travel in so many different ways; I travel high, I rough it... it all depends on who I travel with.
The important thing is to take your time and not get stressed.
I communicate mostly via e-mail and receive hundreds of e-mails a day.
